I agree on the markup. But I think that only 10-20% of all sites nowdays on the internet are designed to standards. And I do agree with Michael that some kind of certification needs to be considered for proper standards-based design. The CIW certification actually stresses that. The CIW organization also holds an annual conference in Destin, FL on standards-based web development.
...and if you've done web design/development for a while, it's easy to get through those exams. I found that self-paced study CDs are very nice. They cover a lot of Accessibility and Usability staff, and Standards, but you as a designer must be always on the lookout of the new "trends"... They actually "organized" my somewhat scattered knowledge in the subject.

I'm always surprised by the poor quality of the markup of these sites...
